Moved
Moved from Spiders. Of the two species in your area, Calymmaria persica fits your location better plus it has banded/annulated legs, whereas the other species, C. virginica, is described as having unmarked legs.
She's a chubby one, wonder if she's gravid?

Not sure
The spiders here have no shortage of food choices so it's hard to tell if their gravid or has just eaten. Hopefully this spring I can find some that are gravid.
Bringing them in this winter has been a mistake, I think the drastic temperature change was to much for them.

Ah, good point, could just be well-fed. =) I've kept some Calymmaria in captivity before, too, and they seemed to need water more often than I would have expected. Maybe it got dehydrated or something?

Moved
Moved from ID Request. Yes, I think you're right. It looks like there are only two species in your region.
